For Your Information - Sept 17th - Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge

On For Your Information this week, my guests are Stuart Marcus, Manager of the Trinity River National Wildlife Refuge (TRNWR), and Jim Carson, COO of the Greater Cleveland Chamber of Commerce (GCCoC) both of whom spoke to the difficulties Hurricane Harvey with its accompanying flood, caused in their efforts to serve the public. Marcus explained the refuge, for all intents and purposes, is currently unusable with floodwaters still covering almost all its land including the raised walkways. He explained he had no way of telling when citizens would once again be able to use the federal property. Carson told listeners about some of the damage suffered by chamber members and general citizens. He said that while the Outdoor Expo was called off due to the disaster, it was being rescheduled. Carson also went into other chamber functions which were canceled but said the Cleveland Music Festival was still scheduled for October.
